Adding a little to the other comment: Nix packages are fully reproducible, so you can verify they're built from the source they're claimed to be. That makes package distribution more secure. (E.g. Debian could add malicious code to some packages before compiling them, and you'd never know. Not saying they do that, but they're able to.)
Thank you for the further explanation! I was able to see from the above that it may not be an OS for a casual Linux user like myself, but I think it is awesome for someone who wants to tinker to their hearts desire and make their system their own!
